“[…] Quiero ser libre, aunque me vuelva loca, aunque sufra como nadie, seré libre. Prefiero una libertad árida, empobrecida antes que esta adoración carente de sentido, irreconciliable con la realidad. Cuando uno no quiere amar no ama. Y yo no quiero amar así.”— Diarios, Alejandra Pizarnik.

Hitchcock Presents
From Vertigo to Psycho, how Hitchcock changed the role of architecture in film.
As a director Alfred Hitchcock was responsible for some of the most seminal moments in cinematic history. His career in film began as a production manager and set-designer, formative experiences that would later help to develop his unique visual style when in charge of the camera. For each of his films he would sketch pages of storyboards and layouts, often based on real locations, that his design teams would then build. For Hitchcock, a film set was never simply a background for the actors, each acts as a supporting character within the plot and is used to channel the psychological mood of the scene.
The influence and legacy of Hitchcock is visible throughout cinema history. His masterful use of architectural space can be seen in the empty yet haunting corridors of the Overlook Hotel in Stanley Kubrick’s The Shining, and the rainy, future-noir Los Angeles portrayed in Ridley Scott’s Bladerunner, a city of cavernous monolithic structures rising above crumbling street level apartments. More recently the enfolding architectural mazes created for the multiple dream levels of Christopher Nolan’s Inception and Wes Anderson’s obsessive interior styling in The Grand Budapest Hotel both owe a debt to Hitchcock’s ability to make architecture speak as loudly as the actors.
